Chronarch CI4+

The use of a lightweight CI4+ frame and cold forged aluminium spool makes the Chronarch CI4+ the perfect baitcasting reel for serious bass and predator fishermen. The use of X-ship with a brass pinion gear ensures making winding efficiency and strength in tough situations and the built in level wind delivers line smoothly across the spool. For smoothness and durability there are 7 shielded A-RB bearings and a roller bearing.

Product Technologies

XShip

XShip is a combination of features that work together to create much greater efficiency. By positioning the pinion gear close to the centre line of the large diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The pinion gear is also supported by two Shimano ARB roller bearings. This creates more stability.

CI4 Plus

CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4. This highly technical material is 2.5 times stiffer than CI4 and is used on many highend Shimano reels to increase weight savings. Use of CI4+ for the body and rotor also delivers remarkable stiffness for better reel efficiency.

S ARB

Shimano S ARB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.

Super Free System

The Super Free bearing supported pinion gear system (SF) was designed to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during the cast. In standard baitcasting reels, when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft, creating friction and limiting the length of the cast. With SF, the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing, and when the clutch is disengaged the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in precise alignment. The result is zero friction on the spool shaft for increased freespool.

Dartanium drag

This drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.

The precision engineered main Hypergear transmits more power from the handle to the rotor. Designed to exacting tolerances, it requires less effort but returns more retrieve playing torque with vastly reduced component wear.
